What is the best advice for someone who just cannot stop talking? It's not very complicated if you think about it. If you were a kid, wouldn't you wish to be taught to stop doing all the stupid things kids do? You'd go crazy, not knowing what to say next!
And so would I, if I were a child. I just wished there was some way to somehow "recuperate" or at least control my talking once in awhile. I don't know why I keep doing this, but it just keeps happening. I wish I could find a way to quit talking!
So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to be totally honest with you. I used to think I was stupid, and maybe even a little insane. But I've realized that I just needed to start saying sorry sometimes. I know I'm way out of line, but I need to say it.
That's all that's left. How to stop sounding like a donkey. I used to get really mad when I talked to the person on the phone who I was having a problem with. You know the person. You can probably smell his odor.
He would always excuse his behavior, like it was no big deal. And I'd try another tact, like, "Come on, John, it's just business. You want me to call you John. John can't take a call from you."
That's how I stopped talking to him for nearly a year. That guy had no idea how stupid he sounded to me. How to stop talking like a donkey is simple. Just say sorry when you're wrong.
